Rommelsbacher new dehydrator

The trend towards self-sufficiency and the conscious handling of food continues unabated. More and more households are discovering traditional preservation methods such as drying. With the new DA 650 dehydrator, Rommelsbacher is launching an innovative device that was specially developed for small households.
The little one is really huge!
Despite its compact external dimensions of just 29 x 43 x 27 cm, the DA 650 impresses with a generous drying area of 0.5 m². This means that even in small households, a wide variety of foods can be gently dried and preserved – be it traditional dried goods such as fruit, vegetables and herbs or popular trend foods such as beef jerky, fruit leather and vegetable chips.
Innovative technology
The DA 650 dehydrator has a stainless steel housing and is equipped with a powerful fan that ensures even heat distribution and effectively removes moisture. This means that vitamins, minerals and fiber are largely retained and the dried food is 100% natural, free from additives and preservatives

EverEver the first French  factory

For several years, the EverEver company has been developing its project for a dishwasher built to last 20 years, eco-designed, easily repairable and manufactured in France. Today, this funding from Bpifrance will help EverEver launch its first production site in France in 2025 in the Vannes metropolitan area, in Morbihan. ”  This investment is crucial to meet the growing demand for sustainable household appliances,” emphasizes Martin Hacpille, founder of EverEver. It will allow us to produce in large series while remaining faithful to our commitments in terms of sustainability, repairability and minimal environmental impact  .”
A production manager has been hired and is already working on the project to create this factory. In addition to creating direct jobs, this project will also strengthen the local economy and industry. It should be remembered that the manufacture of Albert, the sustainable dishwasher, will be based on collaboration with a network of local subcontractors with whom partnerships have already been established. ”  Today, after a long period of work and testing, 100% of the parts of the device are known and ready to be launched ,” says Martin Hacpille

Elica limits the drop in turnover thanks to OEM sales

Elica closes the third quarter with a contraction of ‘only’ 1.1% thanks to the excellent performance of the Engine Division (+9%) which gained market share in Europe. The bet on Cooking is slow to pay off: in the January-September period, despite the award-winning models of the Nikolatesla and Lhov lines, sales fell by 4% (very weak demand in Europe, improvements in the USA).

The balance of the very difficult first nine months of 2024 sees a drop of almost 5% in turnover, down to 342 million euros and margins in line with expectations. The Fabriano group does not give up and finances an intense promotional activity and investments in its own brand lines with careful cost control. The margin on revenues in the first nine months was 7.2% against 10.4% in 2023.
